Anderson struck out four and did not issue a walk over six scoreless innings Thursday against the Padres.
Anderson didn't factor in the decision Thursday, as he got no run support despite pitching well enough to earn the win. After getting roughed up in the season opener, control was the difference in his second start of the season as he dropped his walk total from four to zero. A road matchup in San Diego also helped matters Thursday. At this point, Anderson is someone to consider mostly when he's taking the ball away from Coors Field.
